    I'm also interested in where people are going for their comping fix, any recommendations?

    Just a thought, what we need is someone who can design a website like MSE used to be just for comping? Anyone??

    Ooh, now that is a bliding idea. Anyone?

    If I end up leaving MSE, which I'm still hoping won't be necessary, I would probably migrate to Loquax - if they'll have me. I suspect there are old MSE pals there. There is also something called "Competition Database". But I don't know anything much about it.

    I suggested starting our own up a while ago, got mostly ignored and was stated it would be too hard, not enough interest etc.  I even had someone pm me offering to build it but seemed a non starter among the community.  Even less of a community now sadly.  I too have gone to the ducks, but good luck with your efforts over here :)

    Aw mumto, I'm sad at what you said. Perhaps you were ahead of us all, and saw what was coming before we did? I don't know enough to guess whether it would or wouldn't be too hard, but I suspect that it might well get enough interest. I wonder if Martin Lewis might help set something up for us? Something that wouldn't fit in now with MSE, but perhaps could still be affiliated in some way?

    Oh mum2boys, I am sorry to read that you were ignored when you made the suggestion of creating a new website that is like what we used to have.
    Was your post in a thread or a standalone post? If the former, I wonder if it is allowed to create a new thread and see what interest there is - I don't want to get PPRd.

    Mumto, I've had a peek at the thread you linked to and I'm sincerely sorry if I was any part of what made you feel ignored. What you suggest is a great idea. If anyone felt able to set up something for us, along the lines of what we used to have here, I would be thrilled and would happily move there.

    @Blulu you couldn't upset a fly  :)  I was just a bit saddened by the lack of response or interest, and it seems still the case.  I think it's easier for people just to move to another forum which is what it seems most have now done x
